Instructions
Step 1: Build the Sliders
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.

- Place the top half of the rolls back on and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Buttery Glaze
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter with Italian seasoning and crushed garlic.
- Mix thoroughly and brush generously over the top of the sliders, ensuring even coverage.
Step 3: Bake to Perfection

- Remove from the oven, slice into individual sliders, and serve warm.
Step 4: Enjoy with Marinara
- For an extra burst of flavor, serve with a side of warm marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes

- Swap provolone for mozzarella or Swiss cheese for a different flavor twist.
